history

The first documentary mention can be found around 1450 in the necrology of the Marienstatt Abbey . Afterwards Godart von Bosenhausen and his wife Mechel donated the abbey "11 1/2 Albus ". Another record shows that Johann von Bosenhausen was a judge in Altenkirchen from 1464 to 1478 .

Until the middle of the 17th century, Busenhausen belonged to the county of Sayn . After the introduction of the Reformation in the county of Sayn, the inhabitants were first Lutheran and later reformed . After the state division of the County of Sayn in the 17th century, Busenhausen was part of the County of Sayn-Altenkirchen .

In 1662 Busenhausen had 15 “smoking rooms”, corresponding to 15 houses or around 75 residents. The house names common in all old houses were created around 1800 to 1830.

Busenhausen was the school location from 1855 to 1973, also for the surrounding communities. A restaurant was first mentioned in Busenhausen in 1855. The first owner and probably also the founder was Karoline Bitzer, née Jungnitzius. The house name Kalins comes from her, which was developed from her first name Karoline through blending.

In 1961 a new school building was built, which is now used as a kindergarten.

Surname

Locals say “Bosen” on Westerwald plateau , because in the 15th century Busenhausen was still called Bosenhausen. The nickname for Busenhausen is "BH".

The name "Busenhausen" has seen many modifications over the centuries. In 1624 a document from Bußenhausen and in 1753 only speaks of "penances". There are only guesses as to the origin of the place name. According to a treatise, it is traced back to the old personal name "Bouso", others associate it with the box tree ("bus tree ") that used to be widely used on the bulge head. But if it comes from the word “Baus”, which is related to “Busen”, Busenhausen would mean something like “the above houses”.

The villages with the ending "-hausen" go back to the Carolingian period and the term refers to small emergency fortifications that were built around the 8th and 9th centuries through planned settlement.

According to another variant, it would come from the noble Johann von Bosen , who was mentioned in a document in 1580.
